Can't use multiple particle systems anymore?

1. Monday, 13. January 2025, 13:56 · A year ago#1

   Hi there,

   
   

   I used to be able to use multiple particle systems on a location, to create multiple lights.
   

   
   

   But now, I don't seem to be able to do that anymore. I can add only one particle system to a scene, and that's it. (See picture)
   

   
   

   Is this because of an update, or am I doing something horribly wrong?

   
   

   Thanks!

   Strange, but now I can select an object to attach a particle system to.

   
   

   And now it works. Guess I did something wrong, but the first time, I did not get a list of objects to attach anything to.

   
   

   Glad it works though!

   Wasn't that always the case? A scene can have a particle system, and any number of objects in the scene can have a particle component.

   Yeah, it was my mistake.

   Sometimes engines like Unity or Unreal tweak how components stack, and it breaks old setups.
